Hrithik Roshan was currently in news for beating Salman Khan's record by selling the rights of six of his films for 550 crores. But the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor has yet again proved that he is the king of Bollywood.

If reports are to be believed, Salman has signed a new deal with a top television network for a whopping Rs 1000 crores. The deal includes the satellite rights for his next 10 film and for appearances he'll be making in future on the channel.

According to a report in DNA, a trade source said, "Today, stars are raking in the moolah by signing multi-crore deals with channels willing to pay the price. While Ajay Devgn had signed a deal of 400 crore for 10 films with the same channel, at the time, Salman had signed the same for 500 crore starting with Bodyguard - so he was getting paid 50 crore per film then. Varun Dhawan recently inked a deal with a channel where he gets paid 300 crore for 10 films of his."

"But with Salman's past few releases all being blockbusters - Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, for example - channels are willing to pay him triple the amount to air his films and have his presence grace their shows - be it reality shows or sports-based programmes. He recently re-negotiated his earlier contract with the same channel," the source added.

The source also told the leading daily, "In such cases, if the production house wants to be paid more, it can pay off the channel by giving it a certain amount and then selling the movie rights to the highest bidder as a one-off deal."

On the work front, Salman Khan's latest film Sultan has set the box office on fire. The film has collected Rs 229.16 crore in nine days of its release. Apart from Salman Khan, the film also stars Anushka Sharma in the lead role. Sultan hit the screens on July 6 this year.
